<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="127859">@Taylor Cramer</span> can you briefly summarize to me what's up here? Based on <a href="#narrow/stream/151587-t-compiler.2Frust-2018/subject/uniform.20paths.20and.20module.20system/near/147555301" title="#narrow/stream/151587-t-compiler.2Frust-2018/subject/uniform.20paths.20and.20module.20system/near/147555301">your previous comments</a>, I gather that:</p>
<ul>
<li>People found our current behavior was weird</li>
<li>Attempts to rationalize it to be purely "path to current file"-based seem to break existing code</li>
<li>So we plan to leave it "as is"?</li>
</ul>
<p>Or did we make <em>some</em> changes?</p>
<p>I guess I should review the issue history</p>
